PRE-OPERATIONAL CHECKS
The operator should become familiar with the following pre-operational check list prior to starting or operating the HUSKY.
1. Thoroughly clean area around crankcase oil
dipstick, and check for proper level of engine oil. See Engine Manufacturer's

2. Thoroughly clean area around hydrostatic transmission fill plug
area, and check for proper level of transmission fluid. See Lubrication
Chart.
3. Check battery for proper water
level.
4. Check gasoline tank for sufficient gas
supply.
5. Check that air cleaner screen is free of
debris. Check and clean regularly. Replace if necessary.
6. Clean flywheel screen. Check and clean

7. Visually check for loose nuts and
screws.
8. Check for 6-8 Ibs. tire inflation. TIRE INFLATION SHOULD NOT BE LESS THAN 6
LBS.
9. Do not allow ignition switch to remain in the on position when engine is not running. |
STARTING THE ENGINE
ELECTRIC STARTING
1. Be sure power take-off (P.T.O.) safety clutch is in the OFF position, and the transmission lever is in PARK position.
2. Pull out choke. Experience will indicate need for more or less choking due to temperature variations, grade of fuel, engine
heat, etc.
3. Pull out throttle one-half way. More or less throttle may be required due to grade of fuel and temperature variations.
4. Turn ignition key against spring tension to actuate starter. Release key when engine
starts.
5. Allow engine to warm up. Move choke slowly
forward; pull out throttle and lock at full speed while operating.
6. To stop the engine, bring engine back to
idle, place transmission lever in PARK and turn ignition switch off. Remove the ignition key when the tractor is not in use, or left
unattended.
EMERGENCY STARTING
In case of an electrical
failure, proceed as follows:
1. Recharge or replace
battery.
2. Jumper cables may be used. NOTE: If jumper cables are
used, cables must be connected, Positive (+) to Positive (+) and Negative (-) to
Negative (-).
3. After engine has started, allow it to warm up. Move choke knob slowly
forward, pull out throttle and lock at full speed.
4. Remove battery and have it fully charged as soon as possible.
5. After the battery is fully
charged, reinstall it in the tractor, being careful to connect ground cable
last.
6. Check generator belt for proper tension. Belt
should depress 1/4 inch between pulleys as shown in |
